"The Decay of Memory" in Forgetting in Early Modern English Literature and Culture: Lethe's Legacy. Eds. Christopher Ivic and Grant Williams / ROUTLEDGE, 2004 / Hardcover, 224 pages / ISBN: 0415310466
This book promotes a view of forgetting neither confined to a single discourse nor dominated by a single concept. The essays show how forgetting not only struggles and colludes with remembering to produce culture, but that it also forms its own images, places, materialities, and practices. Forgetting in Early Modern English Literature and Culture will be essential reading for students and scholars of Renaissance Studies.
